Check out the print edition of The Denver Post on Thursday for a giant, 16-page color preview of the 2013 Broncos with features on Peyton Manning, the “Three Amigos,” and the NEW Three Amigos (have they earned a name yet?).

There will also be predictions from Woody Paige, Mark Kiszla and Benjamin Hochman and a complete position-by-position breakdown, along with other extra only in the paper.

In the meantime, here’s a preview of the preview. The top eight best receivers in Broncos history, as ranked by The Denver Postâ€™s Mike Klis:

1. Lionel Taylor (1960-66)
Played linebacker for Bears in 1959, then led AFL with 92 catches (in just 12 games) in 1960 and 100 in 1961. How good is that? Led the AFL in receptions three more times.
2. Rod Smith (1995-2006)
One of the NFLâ€™s all-time best undrafted players. Franchise leader in career receptions (849), yards (11,389) and touchdowns (68).

3. Brandon Marshall (2006-09)
Had three consecutive 100-catch seasons but his production was partially offset by off-field disruptions.
4. Ed McCaffrey (1995-2003)
Rod Smithâ€™s partner ranks fourth on franchise list in receptions (462) and yards (6,200), and third in TDs (46).

5. Demaryius Thomas (2010-present)
Has the chance to become No. 1 as heâ€™s the most physically talented of this group. Won playoff game in 2011 and had 94 catches for 1,434 yards last season.

6. Haven Moses (1972-81)
Averaged 18.0 yards per catch in his 10 seasons with the Broncos.

7. Steve Watson (1979-87)
Tied for NFL lead with 13 TDs in 1981. Was John Elwayâ€™s first favorite receiver from 1983-85.

8. Vance Johnson (1985-93, 95)
The best of the Amigos, he had 76 catches, 1,095 yards and seven TDs in AFC championship season of 1989.

Three Amigos is synonymous with mediocrity. The new trio will be far, far, far superior. Elway was the only reason the amigos were even on the radar. Johnson and Jackson were decent football players. Nattiel was a bust.
